6:27 pm
bring after a year filled with austerity measures. the latest unemployment race for greece is at more than 26%. breaking news out of washington. after weeks of back-and-forth bickering we may have a deal on the "fiscal cliff." it is not literally the 11th hour but it's close. according to a democratic aide who says the white house has reached an agreement with congressional republicans, is essentially a done deal but let's get the latest. cbs reporter randall pinkston joins us live from capitol hill with the details. randall. >> reporter: brian, just minutes ago we saw vice president joe biden's motorcade arrive on the grounds of the nation's capital. he is in there right now briefing members of the democratic caucus about the details and here are some of those details. the sequester which is supposed to take place tonight the automatic spending cuts have been put off for two months to give democrats and republicans, the white house and congressional leaders time to work out a longer deal. but right now, they have one
6:28 pm
that will at least avoid the nation and the economy going off that so-called "fiscal cliff." the senate is close to a deal as the clock ticks toward midnight and the nation teeters on the edge of the so-called "fiscal cliff." >> let's pass the tax relief portion now. let's take what's been agreed to and get moving. >> reporter: the tentative deal would extend bush-era tax cuts for families making $450,000 a year and individuals making $400,000. it would also increase the taxes on estates worth more than $5 million and extend unemployment benefits for one year. president obama said he would have preferred a grand bargain that solved all of washington's revenue and spending problems. >> with this congress, that was obviously a little too much to hope for at this time. [ laughter ] >> it may be we can do it in stages. >> reporter: negotiations have been going on all day. lawmakers and aides moving back
6:29 pm
and forth between meeting rooms here on capitol hill on what is normally a quiet new year's eve. the major sticking upon the now is spending. the president suggested lawmakers make action on deficit reduction in the next few months and that more tax revenue could be involved in those discussions. but republicans are furious at that possibility. >> i'm willing to support revenues to deal with this problem. the overall problem. but what i will not grow to is using revenues to replace spending reductions. >> reporter: even if the senate approves the deal by midnight the house still has to pass the measure before the president can sign it into law. the house left earlier this evening, but it doesn't matter in terms of the "fiscal cliff" agreement because the senate still has to vote on it. it's unlikely that they can get it done by midnight. so while the nags is technically over the cliff, it's only for a few days, we hope. reporting live in washington, i'm randall pinkston. back to you.
6:30 pm
>> brian. >> i'm curious, all this -- this is all unwound in the last 30 minutes according to a democratic aide. is there any indication they will have an official announcement in the next few hours about specifically what is happening at this moment? >> reporter: we don't know whether there will be any official announcement. but we do expect cameras to be hot on the floor of the senate when they do convene. we're also expecting some talk from some senate leaders when the caucus breaks up in the capital. so we expect to hear something tonight. i can't tell you whether it's going to be in the form of an official announcement or senators explaining what the vice president told them is worked out with republicans. >> thank you, a busy new year's eve on capitol hill. thank you, randall pinkston. the u.s. is also dangerously close to another less publicized cliff, the dairy cliff.

6:32 pm
were prepared to provide the security necessary to give minimal protection, adequate protection, to american personnel. >> the attack on september 11th resulted in the deaths of four americans including ambassador chris stevens. the report recommended u.s. intelligence agencies widen their focus in libya and beyond to include new violent islamic extremist groups. secretary of state hillary clinton remains in a new york hospital after complications related to a recent concussion. as cbs news reporter adriana diaz reports, the trouble was discovered during a routine follow-up to her first hospital visit. reporter: former president bill clinton vivid the hospital where his wife hillary will be spending new year's eve. the secretary of state is being treated at new york- presbyterian for a blood clot. clinton's doctor said in a statement, the clot is in the vein between the brain and the skull behind the right ear. it did not cause a stroke or
